Ben, First, thanks for sharing your experiences. Very enlightening.
I'm curious why you decided to use devclass=file volumes, instead of using the DD580 as a VTL. It does have a VTL personality, doesn't it? At 05:39 PM 2/26/2008, Ben Bullock wrote:

You also did some analysis about what type of data got what level of reduction. How did you go about testing this? Do you use separate storage pools to segregate the data and then run a test? I don't see any other way to do it. Thanks. ..Paul -- Paul Zarnowski Ph: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Services Fx: 607-255-8521 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801 Em: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
